Users and Roles

RaptorWeb currently makes limited use of users and roles. Users are needed to login to the web interface, and each user can store their own reports. Beyond that, there is no assignment of functions to roles, and every user will see and interact with the same statistics on the attached MUA. That said, future releases of Raptor will take more consideration of user rights, and therefore we recommend configuring your user set now.

Adding a User

RaptorWeb comes preconfigured with one admin user:

User: admin

Password: raptor

To add more users, edit the web/conf/users.xml file and add users to the authentication-manager e.g. add new users to:

Passwords are stored as MD5 hashes. Hence, to add a new users you must first compute the MD5 hash of your chosen password. For example, if you wanted to add the user 'bob' with the password 'raptor' you first generate the MD5 hash of the password 'raptor' then add that user to the XML configuration, e.g.

We recommend at present to use the ROLE_ADMIN role for all users. As described above, RaptorWeb does not utilise roles for the time being. Where future releases will decide which roles can access what functions.
